Well, it's winter now in Boston, and that means that I'm inside a lot, but looking at the stuff that's accumulated and trying to get rid of things, as usual. The result: more wild-releasing! w00t!

What is available on my virtual shelves is much closer today, in 2012, to my actual shelves than ever before. That said, there are topics I read that I have not yet included. I am a generalist, reading pretty much any non-fiction stuff I can get my hands on; my true tastes incorporate some of what you see here, span almost all Humanities and Sciences, and veer out into other realms. With fiction, I'm far more picky, but quality SF and novels rule the roost. If you seek a book you think I might have, PM me; it's possible it just hasn't been registered yet.

I'm an old-timey bookcrosser now, which means I really haven't kept up with all the great ways there are to use this site. If you have any suggestions for me, PM me!

By the way, the photo is of the REAL violeta parra, the Chilean ethnomusicologist-folklorist-cum-protest-songwriter. There is great information about her and her singer-songwriter children, Angel and Isabel, at www.cancioneros.net.
